"115 recipes from Brooklyn's The Dynamite Shop for young budding home chefs to cook for their families, themselves, or their communities, perfecting their kitchen skills along the way. When Sara Kate Gillingham and Dana Bowen founded The Dynamite Shop in Brooklyn, they wanted to create a space where kids could learn fundamental, practical kitchen skills that they could carry into their home kitchens and real life. But they also wanted to teach kids about food on a deeper level: how food connects us to the people we love, the communities we belong to, and the wider world. Dynamite Dinners features 115 recipes that build on the mission to empower and engage the rising generation of young cooks and their families. This is a book that celebrates the everyday - with recipes ranging from The Perfect Fried Egg and Summery One-Pot Mac to Cantonese-Style Dumplings and Dutch Babies, kids have the opportunity to practice their skills in the kitchen and to reflect upon the stories and importance behind each recipe. This is the cookbook that all kids, young and old, should use to educate themselves and their families about issues in the kitchen and beyond"--
